16 | Continuous Glucose Monitoring System

HELPFUL HINTS:

• Your Transmitter is re-used for many Sensor uses.

• If you see the Out of Range Symbol

in the upper right corner of the

Trend Graph, your Transmitter and Receiver are no longer talking. This

can happen even when your Sensor/Transmitter and Receiver are within

20 feet (6 meters) of each other.

• The Receiver and Transmitter are designed and tested to withstand

common electromagnetic interference, including airport security systems.

1.2 TRANSMITTER OVERVIEW

The Transmitter wirelessly sends your glucose information from the Sensor to

the Receiver. Once you insert the Sensor, you will snap the Transmitter into the

Sensor Pod using the Transmitter Latch. The same Transmitter is used when

you change Sensors.

The Transmitter battery will last about 6 months. As

the Transmitter nears the end of its battery life, it can

sometimes lose communication with the Receiver.

This can happen even if the Receiver and Sensor/

Transmitter are within 20 feet (6 meters) of each

other. The Transmitter (Low Battery) screen will ﬁ rst

appear when there are about 2 weeks of battery

life remaining. Press any Receiver button to clear

the ALARM. This ALARM will reappear every day for 2 weeks, or until the

Transmitter is replaced. Once the Transmitter battery has drained, you will need

to replace the Transmitter because it can no longer communicate (talk) to the

Receiver. You can easily set up a new Transmitter to talk with your Receiver

(see Chapter 2, Section 2.4).
